Course Description

.

Skibbereen and West Carbery Golf Club has seen many renovations since the club moved to its present location in 1935. The late Eddie Hackett was retained to design and extend the course to 18 holes, which opened in 1992.

The old and new are nicely integrated as only Eddie Hackett could do.
